Ask any Groovement fan to describe the band’s sound. You might hear something like: Joss Stone flew a Led Zeppelin called “The Mothership” through the Galactic and landed a few Meters away from Motown; more simply said: a funky good time. Groovement is an energetic six-piece band that plays a mix of groove, funk, and jam music with catchy pop vocals and huge harmonies. Groovement embodies the soul of Northwest Arkansas—fun, unpredictable, and full of life. Their shows are filled with hip-shaking original tunes with spontaneous jams and sing-a-long choruses, complimented by some classic and not-so-expected covers. Groovement is a diverse, joyous musical experience performed by talented musicians who truly love what they do.

With a lineup hand-picked by the husband-and-wife team of Bryan and Lindsay Burkhart, Groovement is the brainchild of Fayetteville’s most talented and recognizable faces. Over the course of countless shows, jam sessions, sit-ins, fill-ins, member swaps, and a long search for that “just right” chemistry, the lineup was solidified in the spring of 2009. Their original sound is voiced by front-woman Lindsay Burkhart, with her soulful vocal hooks. Even though her powerful voice stands on it’s own, her melodies are accompanied by thick vocal harmonies from every band member. The band is rounded out by Jacob Johnson’s sultry sax lines, meshed with Adam Becker’s rip-roaring keyboards; Trey Burkett’s smokin’ guitar licks; and Randy Soller’s bass locking perfectly into Bryan Burkhart’s thunderous drum grooves.

Even though Groovement’s birth was only in April of 2009, this band sits on years of experience. The members of Groovement are former members of Fayetteville favorites such as Deacon, The Sarah Hughes Band, Chilly Moon, The Fayetteville Funk Ensemble, Humpback Jack, Solomon’s Vine, Lil’ Hoojin’, The Honkies, and many others.
